The Hides
Meer oor hierdie e-boek
It's been almost seven years since the events of Myers Pond. Seven years since a child rose from the dead, seeking Timmy Quinn's help in finding a murderer, a search that left more questions than answers in its terrifying wake. But for Timmy, the dead never leave. They're everywhere, reaching out to him, and there is nowhere to hide from their quiet desperation.
Following a nightmarish encounter at home, Timmy's search for peace takes him to his grieving grandmother, and a small harbor town on the south coast of Ireland.
But no peace can exist in a place whose past is colored by hate, betrayal and murder, and it is not long before Timmy realizes his haven has become a death trap.
And in the very foundations of an old crumbling factory, the dead are gathering, uniting...
To save his life and the lives of those he loves, Timmy Quinn must step behind the Curtain, into the realm of the dead, and face something far more terrifying than he has ever encountered before.
